Bo Ogden is a 6'5", 185 lbs small forward from Austin, Texas who currently attends Westlake High School. He is currently a senior and one of the top recruits in the class of 2026.

Ogden is a four-star recruit and is ranked 42 on the ESPN top 100 recruits for the class of 2026. He was looking at several schools. Where will be he taking his talents after his high school basketball career is over?

Bo Ogden Heads to the Texas Longhorns

On Tuesday September 30, Ogden announced that he is going to be heading to Texas. This story was reported by Joe Tipton of on3.com. This is not a surprise, and Ogden will be staying close to home. It is a major win for the Longhorns basketball program to land an in-state recruit.

He was also being recruited by the Tennessee Volunteers, Purdue Boilermakers, Gonzaga Bulldogs, the Virginia Cavaliers, and other prestigious basketball programs. Bo is the son of Texas men's basketball General Manager Chris Ogden.

Rivals' Jamie Shaw saw him at a camp earlier this summer and said,

"Bo Ogden plays a clean game, and shows a little bit more than expected with the ball in his hands. He is a capable straight line driver and an adept shooter. There will always be lateral questions, but he gives consistent effort and is able to create opportunities."

It is going to be interesting to see what kind of role he will have as a freshman when he gets to campus. For now, Ogden is the only ESPN top 100 recruit for the Longhorns basketball program.
